There are so many things that Sari didn't miss because she was adopted by a Jewish family:

• Lighting Shabbat candles with Mommy
• Going to shul on Shabbat
• Her own siddur and chumash
• Davening under her Daddy's tallit
• Singing Birkat Hamazon with her sister
• Her brother's bar-mitzvah
• Saying Modeh Ani
• Eating kosher food
• Mezuzot on the door
• Bubbe & Zayde
• Friday night zmirot
• Learning the aleph-bet
• Apples and Honey on Rosh Hashona
• Hearing Kol Nidre
• Wating in her Sukkah
• Shaking a Lulov and Etrog
• Lighting Chanuka candles
• Playing Queen Esther
• Mishloach manot
• Cleaning for Pesach with Mommy
• Asking the Four Questions
• Finding the Afikoman
• Eating Cheesecake on Shavuot

These are just a few of the many Jewish experiences that Sari did not miss because she was adopted by a Jewish family.  There are, however, many Jewish children in the United States who aren't as lucky.  They haven't found a Jewish family, and won't have these experiences or memories.  The Jewish Children's Adoption Network was established to help these children find an appropriate Jewish home.  Currently, an average of about a hundred children are referred to us every year, by agencies, social workers, attorneys, Rabbis and family members.
